In a new interview with In Touch Magazine, Louis Van Amstel talks of why his new partner, Sabrina Bryan, deserves revenge on Dancing With The Stars. He also says this is the first season he will be able to knock himself out as a dancer and more. Details below and at the link.

“Kyle and Carson both went as far as they could go during their seasons — Carson might’ve even gotten an extra week because he was so funny,” Louis tells In Touch. “But Sabrina was voted off after getting three 10s and everybody assumed she was safe, but she wasn’t. I really think that she deserves a chance for revenge!”

Of course, It doesn’t hurt that Sabrina, who was partnered with Mark Ballas on season five, gives Louis his most gifted partner on the dance floor yet for season 15.

“This is the first season I can knock myself out as a dancer, as a choreographer because she’s so good,” says Louis, who last appeared on the show on season 12, when he was partnered with Kendra Wilkinson. “From day one, we are going to knock even our own socks off.”

Also, did any of you get to see Louis on Showbiz Tonight last night? There might be a video posted later of the full interview at CNN. For now, below is a teaser with him talking about Sabrina….

I'm a fashion and music fan....and I have always loved dancing too of any kind. Dancing With The Stars seems to have this way of bringing all of those things together.

Wow Louis, I bet Trista, Lisa, Monique, Priscilla, Kelly, Niecy, Margaret, & Kendra love hearing that you were never that thrilled about partnering with them. Seriously dude, you’ve known you were going to be on the all-star season all of 48 hours, and already you’re building up some pretty bad karma…

Oh yeah Louis. Revenge huh! Me thinks Louis may have forgotten that this is the All-Star season, filled with previous winners, definite fan favorites, and more popular pros than him. Let’s vote him off the island and quick!!!

No Marie, YOU sound unpleasant, trying to tell everyone how to act and think. This is the 2nd time this week I’ve had to remind you that you don’t get to comment on the other posters around here – did you not understand that the first time? One more and you’re gone.

Ya know, I really used to like Louis. A lot. In the early seasons, I found him professional, talented, creative. But man o man, has this DWTS fame gone straight to his tiny head!

Unfortunately I don’t see this pattern ending and we’re all going to be gagging before it’s over – I fear Bristol, Melissa and possibly Helio will depart before Sabrina does, so we’ll have to put up with him for at least 2 months (the month before the premier and the month I they’ll last). UGH. I hope that Sabrina has some decorum and will be able to put a stop to it. Geez Louise, Louis.

Bad Kharma, indeed. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, as my dad used to say 😀

Maybe you guys are being just a little hard on Louis. I’m sure he’s not intentionally trying to insult his part partners. In fact, I recall several other pros saying effectively the same thing in the past – although I think they generally worded it a bit better.

It sounds to me like he’s just saying that the pros have to dance at the level their partner is at. In most cases that level is below the level of the pro. This time it isn’t.

What he may be missing, is that the same thing is the case for almost every couple this season. All but two of them have been to the finals before.

Still, I totally get how excited he is. It has been a couple of seasons since he has been on the show and he gets a celebrity that is very talented, and based on winning the last spot clearly has some fan support.

Marie, take note of how Chris expressed himself on the post. Nice, non-confrontational disagreement with other opinions expressed here. What he did NOT do was accuse another poster of being homophobic just for not liking Louis. You did, as a result you may have worn out your welcome here – when I get home, I may just block you.

Seriously, if you don’t get that the expression linde used and realize it has nothing to do with gender or sexual orientation, you may not be smart enough to play here. And yes, I am elitist. Deal.

I think Louis has to be careful with what he says he is treading on thin ice here. If maybe he worded it differently in both interviews their would not be may people that would be bashing. I hope Sabrina puts him in place or they are eliminated quickly. I dont like the fact that he put down the other 2 wild cards that we saw their true potential because even at the end of season 11 Kyle had way more potential to improve a bit more which might have shown now with being in vegas.

I’m not really a fan of him. I remembered from one his interviews, he was frustrated/ pissed off because according to him he was the reason why DWTS invited Gladys Knight. He was hoping to be paired with her ,but we all know Tristan was the” chosen one”. He even said that if she was paired with him, he would have done better choregraphy ( not exact words).

I can handle watching sabrina but louis is probably going to prevent me from voting for her. How easily he forgot about some great partners he has had on the show (Lisa Rhinna, Kelly O, Monique, Kendra (but to a slight extent…..she really did good on her cha cha, rumba, and samba in my opinion) and last but not least niecy (that quickstep was probably the standout dance for her). ).

Just had to throw another expression in there. I agree with Isabella, although Louis has a habit of chronically showing his jealousy about Derek, he was pretty explicit in his jealousy and biased criticism of Tristan last season in interviews and in his blog. I hated that because many viewed his weekly blog as unbiased and full of such good insight. Some of it maybe. But as PH always says, *every*one has biases, and much better to acknowledge them when you’re putting yourself out there as some sort of expert.

Still, although I threw out that expression, I don’t know if he’s not very bright or not. I know he’s worked hard to develop and promote his fitness program. Also, I do have a lot of respect for his anti bullying stance.

Just needs to learn to handle being passed over with more grace I think.

I recall Louis being thrilled he got Kendra in their season. He was picturing that MBT but it didn’t work out. Louis might be better off to keep his mouth shut and just work with the celeb to get her to dance her socks off to impress the judges and voters.

Pretty insulting, Louis. Sabrina is as much of a ringer as others and Louis is just self serving. When he was okay with Mya, with the most dance experience of any celeb, but was all over Nicole as unfair, he lost credibility.

Whoa Nelly! Gay bashing???? Not in a million trillion years. Truth: his sexual orientation never crossed my mind. I was aghast at his very rude (IMO) comments vis-a-vis his previous partners. He could so very easily have praised Sabrina to high heaven and danced for joy without dissing a single soul.

If Louis was as tall as his ego, he’d have to duck to get through doors, and the chip on his shoulder is so wide he’d have to go through sideways.

I was rooting for Sabrina to get the 13th spot until we learned Louis would be her partner. I was under no illusions about her chances of winning, but I thought she’d enjoy being voted in and dancing on the show again. Now I think she’s in for a miserable season.

I am always a fan of trying to guess the storyboarding on the show. I have a feeling Louis will be our male pro villain. Maks will be a good boy with Kirstie this season so they will need someone else. Looks like Louis is making it easy.
